Tinsel Town blues!

 have been away for a long time.  All my attempts to start NabloPaMo for the last 2 months have been crushed by my own laziness. I penned down 5 stories and a few poems, but nothing came up on the blog. The paper napkin at CCD has more patience than this blog. Grrr, and like all those relations where you get back no matter how worthless they are, I come back to this blog each day, to read and to think "wish I could write like them" *Ahh! Sigh* And my poor blog is now stinking like the rotten egg, with nothing new. Uggghhh!! did I say that out loud? If you have not noticed I have taken the pains in changing the template a bit.

Meanwhile I read hundreds of post on others' blogs. I have developed this R.F.P syndrome.  Reading First Post syndrome, I cannot sit still unless I dig into the first post written on every blog that I go through. I love reading how the blog was started, what was the reason of its coming to existence. Its my marijuana since the last few months.

I was scared that my writing genes were secretly gulped down by the lizard in my hostel balcony, but no! Iam sure, because the lizard is not seen since so long. My deadly genes shooooo'd the creature into the world where lizard walk the talk and kick their human counterparts' in the shins! Gross might be the word you are thinking to blurt out.

Well, I was scared, I surely was on the quality of my recent posts. And now I am scared no more. Something tells me that I might be the only one reading my blog. so the fear ran away. Well quality downgrading is completely natural given the fact this is what happens in a normal day in this tinsel town.

'A white-washed and dreary classroom in one corner of the weirdly constructed matchbox style college'

' Around twenty  'bored-out-of-their-minds' students are somehow adjusting themselves on the sixty something benches'

'One overly enthusiastic professor who seems to be wearing his belt on his chest'

'One twenty-one or more year old trying to kick start a conversation with the next guy and starts off with "ahh! Eu know whaa?"

'An Indian equivalent of the dumb Blondie who is very much amused at the fact that she can twirl her hair'

'The class nerds trying to look interested and their eyes fixed on a single dot on the projector screen, if they blink they'll miss out on a hell lot of knowledge'

'Ten Yankees who enter the class with coffee in their hands and tring to figure out reasons for being late'

'Soon things settle down, four jobless creatures somehow struggle to keep thier eyes open.'

'Clowns demonstrate how to make paper planes and check the viability of it by testing it in this public forum, soon all you can see is paper planes Zwoooooooooooooooooop - Zwooooooooooooooooooooop-ing from one corner to other, until one lands on the professor's feet'

'A not-so innocent blogger trying to weasel out a post in her blank notebook, gets busy clicking pictures of the various faces in her class'

Its been so long since time was spent like this in the classroom. Life Now, is mostly in the college corridor working on the next event or cheering for the College at any random Inter-college tournament or mornings that start at 2pm.


Surprise surprise!!
Well so this is how life is, the journal would itself if I ever wrote life-journals like this, Unlessss!! those days' when everyone close to you bunk to celebrate the roommate's birthday!! A day for which you have to slog and plan day and night to make it a look like a birthday. When everyone around, helps to so much that I actually end up satiated at all the good work done. On returning from the so un-planned dinner of the day, not yet midnight few gooses follow and honk the way down to the hostel. Fumed head-to-toe, I kick throw my 5-inches in the air swearing under the breath as we open the door to the room, my paradise in the tinsel town!!!


Happy Birthday!
And she is actually 400 :p



  Days pass by sooner as I go to and fro home-hostel every week due to the throat infection. Mom ke haath ka Rajma chawal, Dad's Birthday, continuos pestering by Khanna and the late night calorie free Jalebi+ vanilla icecream!




And then the black clouds start swarming in, Attendance Report shows that there were actually 4 days that I was present in the class in the last month, notes that cannot be found even on the night before exam, the same roommate turns into a lady Satan and throws pens everytime I get 'losted' in my world of sleep and doesnot even let me copy in the exam next day. Bloody hell!

Life is tinsel town is not that easy. and if you think this post lacked any good stuff or quality, it is because it was meant to be like this. I love Randomness!

"Strange stuffs happen all around you, and only if you had that one moment to stop and notice it.....then whaatt , you'd be a BLOGGER then" :p Yesterday the age old question again popped up from an oh-so-handsome(wish he didn't have a girlfriend) guy sitting opposite to me in the Jamnagar-Surat Intercity Express, (Indian Railways should give me discount coupons now!), while his girlfriend sat beside him grumbling about the quality of air-conditioning in Indian trains and the lousy platform junk food (do not blame me, it was her! I love having bhajiyas at the baroda station when I am travelling with my roommate or someone else).               Alright, here i wander away again. That is my new 'beemaarri'. I start with something, i drift away to something and end up with something else which has nearly no connection with what i started with. My friend Arihant thinks I need to consult a ...

On writer's block and PMS.....

I have been staring at this screen for the last one hour and using the delete button more than I ever have. It's simply never happened before. Words never fail me. I usually have a million things to say and the words always flow through. Not these days. I tried more than once to write for the new year, but all in vain. I have 42 draft posts. (*ahhh....so its not that i didn't try, i just couldn't) I have a million things swimming in my head right now but the words just refuse to form. Maybe it's because I dont have one or two things to say. As I said, I have a million things. I am rambling now. Another first. So well, This post won't be the most brilliant thing ever. It's ok. I'll live. I'll settle for mediocrity, just this once. I don't know why but i have been dying to shoot out this since last few times. It is silly. I confess it is. But darn true. I just got a sms from a buddy(KV) asking coulnt i get a better theme to write on rel...

Worldly Woes!

I wanted to tell you that how my life is full of random moments. Why? because it's a better thing to start than saying "yes! I am back again" Yet again .  Well, it doesn't take the wits of a rocket scientist to figure out that this blog has been dysfunctional for quite some time now - very much close to FIVE months. And I have no idea why did I stop scribbling on this blog and when? It just happened. Like falling out of love. Somewhere it felt like a chore and I grudgingly dragged my feet along. all so much so that I did keep up the charade of constantly reminding myself that such a space existed and my regular readers (yes! you can laugh to that) would be missing me. With time, washed away many disillusions, for no one actually missed my constant banter.  That is what pushed this space into an existential crisis and I had no time to figure out answer to any of the questions it asked.  Now that I have explained well about my absence, does this cou...
